    Thanks for adding me --- Joining the owner's club tomorrow

    If everything goes well tomorrow I will be joining you all as owners of a new F6B. I have been eyeballing this bike for a while but wasn't ready to move on from my Yamaha Raider. A wreck on Father's Day weekend took care of that choice so I am ready to move on to the F6B. I have an appointment to view one of the HR Signature Series Stealth version at HOA tomorrow. Anyone that has one of the matte black paint jobs and would recommend against it please let me know now.

    I plan on having them do some additional mods for me and then picking the bike up in a couple of weeks. I am not yet capable of riding after the wreck but should be good to go in a few more weeks.

    See you guys around soon !! I hope.

    Sorry to hear about the fathers day mishap. My wife tangled with a dog and went down that same day as well,,,

    The 6 will be a significant change from the Raider!!! (I had a Strat) The 6 has less torque, but more HP. Kinda like a turbine vs a tractor,,,,

    Welcome to the fold!!!

    That's the spirit!
    A wreck is just a good reason to move on to the next bike.
    Way to jump right back into the saddle, brother!
    I think the matte black is going to look amazing.
    I hope you feel better very quickly, and can get onto the road ASAP.
    The F6B ride is amazing, especially to those of us who came from any of the V-twins.
